Build Diary 02/03-April-06

Refitted after painting the canopy strut bracket. Fitted lock to canopy catch, dimpled top skin forward of canopy. This is the last skin to fit!

Pilot hole shows the position for the lock.
The top forward of canopy skin. It's the last skin to fit.
The catch part of the lock I made. I will reduce the size of it later. I had to adjust the canopy latch. (Above canopy latch) the strut brace bracket was difficult to re-fit with the canopy latch riveted to the skin. Took nearly 1hr to refit the two bolts!
